Zirconia?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Zirconia is a white metal powder that has been used in dentistry for the past decade to make crowns, bridges and abutments for dental implant crowns. \u00a0It is stronger than all-porcelain restorations, but is more opaque and has less translucency, which can affect their appearance.\u00a0 Therefore, pure zirconia crowns or bridges are recommended for back teeth and for people with a history of clenching or grinding.\u00a0 Similar to the traditional porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) crowns, porcelain can be layered on top of the zirconia to give the restoration a more natural appearance similar to porcelain crowns.\u00a0 Porcelain-fused-to-zirconia (PFZ) crowns, or layered zirconia crowns, are indicated for front teeth and can be indistinguishable from natural teeth.\u00a0 The main disadvantage of PFZ crowns is that the porcelain can chip or crack if excessive force is applied to the crown or bridge.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What are the Benefits of Zirconia Restorations?<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Creates a natural appearance that resembles or improves the original tooth<\/li>\n<li>Restores a broken or damaged tooth to its original shape<\/li>\n<li>Replaces a missing tooth, multiple teeth or all teeth in the mouth<\/li>\n<li>Stronger than Porcelain restorations<\/li>\n<li>Improves chewing efficiency<\/li>\n<li>Very effective for masking highly discolored teeth<\/li>\n<li>Indicated for patients with a history of grinding or clenching<\/li>\n<li>Low tooth wear of opposing teeth<\/li>\n<li>Less tooth removal is required for pure zirconia crowns<\/li>\n<li>Resists staining from coffee, tea, cigarette smoke, red wine, and more<\/li>\n<li>Straightens crooked teeth<\/li>\n<li>Closes minor gaps between teeth<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>What is a Zirconia Crown?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Zirconia Crowns<\/strong>\u00a0are restorations that cover the external portion of a tooth down to the gum level.\u00a0 They can be used to simply restore a damaged tooth or they can be layered with porcelain to blend seamlessly with the neighboring natural teeth.\u00a0 Like porcelain crowns, zirconia crowns are indicated in situations where tooth decay has destroyed most of the original tooth or a large part of the tooth has fractured due to trauma.\u00a0 The main advantage can be seen in people with severe tooth wear from acid erosion or from grinding or clenching one\u2019s teeth.\u00a0 Since zirconia is very strong and minimizes wear on the opposing teeth, it is an ideal material to use for people who are hard on their teeth.\u00a0 In people with a history of grinding or clenching, pure zirconia crowns are usually indicated.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is a Zirconia Bridge?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A\u00a0<strong>Zirconia Bridge<\/strong>\u00a0replaces one or more missing teeth by using the surrounding teeth as a foundation.\u00a0 This creates a literal \u201cbridge\u201d between the remaining teeth and the missing tooth\/teeth.\u00a0 Although a single dental implant or an implant bridge would be the best treatment, a zirconia bridge is a viable option for heavy smokers, people with uncontrolled diabetes, sites with poor bone availability where bone grafting would be needed before dental implant placement, for financial reasons and those patients that prefer to avoid a surgical procedure.<\/p>\n<p>Zirconia is an ideal material when it comes to bridges because it is extremely strong and durable.\u00a0 The fit is also very accurate because the bridge is milled from a solid block and then fired in an oven to fuse together.\u00a0 Depending on the location of the missing tooth\/teeth and the esthetic demands of the patient, porcelain can be placed on the front of the bridge to give it a more natural look that is indiscernible from the adjacent teeth.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-4415

to choose a restorative dentist that is knowledgeable in the mechanical and chemical properties of the material.\u00a0 Improper techniques in both the fabrication and adjusting of the zirconia can cause microscopic imperfections that can lead to cracking.\u00a0 Therefore, it is important to seek treatment from a professional, such as a Prosthodontist.<\/p>\n<p>Pure zirconia can appear very opaque and look similar to traditional PFM crowns.\u00a0 However, for patients looking for longevity and strength, pure zirconia is a great option.\u00a0 For those patients looking for both esthetics and longevity, a thin layer of porcelain can be added to the front of the zirconia crown or bridge to give it a life-like appearance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What Can You Expect During Cosmetic Dental Treatment?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 1:\u00a0 Perform Esthetic Evaluation of Your Smile<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>After evaluating the size, shape, color and position of your teeth, as well as your smile, speech and lip position, a diagnostic model will be created.\u00a0 This diagnostic model will allow you to see a mock-up of your new teeth before any treatment is started.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 2:\u00a0 Evaluate Your Temporary Restorations<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Using the approved diagnostic model, the teeth will be prepared and a temporary crown or bridge will be placed.\u00a0 These temporary restorations will allow you to visualize what the outcome will look like before the final restorations are made by the lab technician.\u00a0 At this point, any modifications to the diagnostic model can be noted so the lab technician knows exactly how to make your new teeth.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 3:\u00a0 Deliver Your New Zirconia Restorations<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>After 2 to 3 weeks, the Zirconia Crowns or Bridges will be tried in to evaluate your smile, speech and bite.\u00a0 After any necessary adjustments, the zirconia restorations will be permanently cemented and will blend seamlessly with your other natural teeth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is Zirconia?
